An average of 3.8% of all deadly crashes in 2001 involved a hit and run driver (7.8%) in California alone. Nearly one in five pedestrians (18%) killed on America's roadways is the victim of a hit-and-run crash, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Traffic Safety (April 2003).
On August 2, 2009, our son was killed by a hit and run driver. He was only fourteen years old. As the law stands, a hit and run driver can only receive a maximum of seven years (CVC 20001) California Vehicle Code.
It is time for change!!!
We, the undersigned, call on the people of California and the United States to increase an enhancement on current hit and run laws.
